Editor's Notes

- Considerations: -- bus schedules --various school calendars -- transportation to internship
- 20 seconds-Elaine 2-19 SECTION 2: PARTNERSHIPS [20 sec./slide–Elaine] Laying the ground work – The secret ingredients to forging successful partnerships with regional industry partners; how to identify them, communicating the value of the MIC program to their business, creating the basis for a partner MOU, and the process undertaken to keep these partnerships fresh and relevant. Future Planning – keeping up with the pace of business: A look into the future; how MIC cultivates partners and industry insights to create new programs. What are the prospective new programs on the table? (?? Data Science, Construction Management, as well as curriculum exploring a smart city application development series from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and US Ignite.) What considerations are taken into account when considering new programs? Might want to mention that MIC received acknowledgement as one of the top workforce development programs in the country by the Community College Futures Assembly (CCFA). The MIC collaboration was one of ten national finalists for the “Bellwether Award” that recognizes outstanding and innovative programs in community college education.
